Roseanne Barr is going blind, she reveals in a new Daily Beast interview. The comedian was explaining why she's such an advocate for marijuana legalization: "It's a good medicine, you know," she says. "I have macular degeneration and glaucoma, so it's good for me for that because I have pressure in my eyes." Asked, then, if the macular degeneration would cause her to go blind, she answered simply, "Yes." She then expanded when asked if doctors have told her how long she has until that happens:

"No, they can't. My vision is closing in now. It's something weird. But there are other weird things. That one's harsh, 'cause I read a lot, and then I thought, 'Well, I guess I could hire somebody to read for me and read to me.' But I like words and I like looking. You do what you have to do. I just try and enjoy vision as much as possible—y'know, living it up. My dad had it, too."

What comes around goes around. Roseanne's obsolute vile hatred for Christians is now catching up with her.

The article doesn't say whether she has wet or dry MD. My best friend has the wet kind and has been treated successfully for it. I'm not a big fan of Rosanne but I wouldn't wish blindness on my worst enemy. I hope she finds something that will help.
